Indeed, PS4 will sell much less than PS2, 360, and Wii in the US. much less. much, much, and again... much.

You must be psychic. Can you tell me the lottery numbers?
I still remember back in 2006-10 when people kept saying the Wii was gonna blow past the PS2 LTD in the US and WW (didn't even make it past the PS1)
Then in 2011-14 people kept saying no way the 360 would outsell the Wii in the US (it has outsold it)

It was fairly clear Wii was never going to outsell PS2. The thing had the early advantage of being VERY cheap especially when compared to the competition, which meant less room for price drops, an element that affects legs tremendously. Its capabilities were extremely outdated, which also affected its lifespan. The Wii wasn't THAT appealing to core gamers for this reason and a few others.
"Wii surpassing PS2" was nearly as poorly-thought as confidentally believing PS4 has no chance coming close to the Wii but some people just never learn man.
I personally predict PS4 to land at 38 million in the US. 5 million more/less is not impossible at all.

You must not have been around or lurked around 2006-2010 then. Here, on neogaf, or other sites. I have always lurked and I distinctively remember on gaf as it was a "foregone conclusion" and some threads here, including this dude forecasting the wii to sell 200 or 300 million LTD (or was it 500 million?). Not sure right now but it was some insane number like that. The hype was real back then. To be fair though, with good reason, Wii was doing november and december numbers in June.
